Staying at Raceways Motel was a no-frills experience—exactly what you’d expect from an older property in a practical, functional sense. We used it as a quick crash pad after a long flight, and honestly, it did the job. The room had a decent bed, a working toilet, a shower, and air conditioning, which was a big plus during Brisbane’s humid weather. It wasn’t fancy or modern, but everything worked as it should.

Airport Motel Brisbane
Stayed in a 3-bedroom unit at this budget-friendly motel and overall, it was a great value for the price. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and the location is super convenient—Woolworths is just a 10 to 15-minute walk away. Mobile reception was strong throughout our stay, which is always a plus. While we didn’t test the TV, Wi-Fi was mostly reliable, though some websites didn’t load properly, requiring a VPN to access them. One minor inconvenience: the bedside power outlet isn’t accessible due to the furniture placement, so the nightstand is pushed right against the wall—had to use an extension cord to charge my phone. Also, no bowls were provided, so we ended up eating out of cups and picked up disposable ones at Woolworths later. The shower floor has a slight slope, causing water to pool in one corner—but easily managed by nudging it down with your foot. No shampoo or toiletries included, which is expected at this price point. Despite these small quirks, nothing was deal-breaking. We’d definitely recommend this place for travelers looking for a no-frills, practical stay near the airport. Just bring your own extension cord, shower essentials, and a few bowls if you’re not planning to buy them on-site.

Staying at Airport Heritage Motel was an absolute pleasure. The staff went above and beyond to make my trip comfortable, especially with my old knee injury—offering assistance with luggage and even helping me find the easiest access route to my room. Their warmth and genuine hospitality made me feel truly welcome. The location is perfect for airport travelers: just a short walk or quick shuttle ride away. Clean, quiet, and well-maintained rooms with excellent comfort. I’ve stayed at many motels before, but this one stands out for its thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Would highly recommend to anyone flying through Brisbane—100% worth it!

Our room had one double bed and a bunk bed, which comfortably fit our family of four—two adults and two kids. The layout was smart and space-efficient.
